Ringtones

Hi all,
I have a slight problem with my JASJAR, most times somebody calls me, I miss the phone call most times because I don't hear the phone ringing. I have sorted that out 90% of the time by making it vibrate and ring.
Anybody got a nice loud ringtone but funky? So I can hear it better? Or possibly a solution? I mean I have got all my volumes up on full. When I play music with Windows Media Player, it is nice and loud. Is there a way to get the ringtone the same volume?
Thanks.

get an audio editor for your pc (e.g. Audigy) and raise the base volume in the file.

Thing is, I play the file in Windows Media Player and its at a nice loud volume, now why cant the phone ring at that same volume, its all on max volume. Really sux

You may have set the system volume as maximum and not the phone volume?

Yeah I tried that too, I put everything as high as it can go, I jus dnt understand why, even when I choose the ringtone from the drop down list, its softer when I hear the preview of the selected file. In Windows Media Player with nothing changed its louder. Oh well.

I use Alice Cooper's Poison as a ringtone, preamped it in Windows Sound Recorder before transferring it as a wav to the phone - it's nice and loud and I have only failed to hear it once when it by some fluke started to ring roughly same time as the song came up on my MP3 player so I just thought I had a slight echo...

lol ok, well ill try amp it then, and see what happens, by how much did u amp it by?

I just did: "Increase volume by 25%" off the Effects menu of Windows Sound Recorder.

sound problem

I used this rom for the last 2 days itis working nicely apart from the low sound volume .....Is there a solution for this?

?
low sound? mine sounds like always... it have good sound volume! But if you want you can control Bass & Trable with this program...
try to install the sound fixes.
I hope this help....

Still the sound is low

i noticed that sometimes sound becomes lower than usual if u talk and the phone and then hangup. i dont know why but it seems to work by holding the hangup button for ~ 5 secs or pressing it several times . maybe a Radio version issue ?

low music sound and phone!!!!

Notebook can please check ur inbox ? thanks

lollll the both things are on top loll...
you must now that tcmp have in equalizer a pre amplifier that give a litel more son, is threre a pre amplifier to phone?

If the low volume problem is while you're talking on the phone, there is a separate volume control for "in call". Pushing both sliders in the speaker control to the top won't change the "in call" setting. You have to push the sound control rocker on the side of the case while you're actually on the phone to access that one.

My XDA IIs also hv the same problem.
Before I flash the rom it's work fine.
But now the sound, ringtone and even on phone call also very low. But if use headset then it's working fine. Why?

how to increase ringtone volume?

i had tried increase it db for the tone i am using. and it does not seem to have any diff compare to the N95 8gb i tried . is there anyway to increase it volume?

anyone knows ?

why it's the loudest win mobile phone i've had without any tweaks.

Wow....miss my N95 screen broke last year.
Try SrS wow.
It might help the music also.

Maybe the ringtone you're using is just quiet. Edit it on your PC to make it louder before putting it on your phone. All my ringtones are loud enough.

Download wow HD, this will increase the ringing tone, music sound. infect will have a very nices EQ.

thanks alot for all the reply.
@ john i tried to edit on my pc like how i done for my N95 changing the orginal tone db from 90 to 105. on my N95 i can sense huge diff but on leo. it does not make much diff.
@ Damitu, Terence . ok will try and install to see how is it. thanks guys

not many phones can compare to the ringer volume of the mighty n95 8gb....lol, mine rang in a noisy bar once and everyone was looking at me with the 'damn, turn that thing down' look.
i hope the HD2 is at least as loud as the TP2, which has a decent ring volume and a great speaker!

speaker and ringer volume

is there any way to make the speaker and ringer volume louder than stock max setting i work in a real noisy area and a lot of the time its very hard to hear
thanks in advance
jack

Instead of making it louder, why not just try putting it on vibrate...? Just sayin.

i have it on ringer and vibrate and the vibrate is not the best that i have seen either. this is the only problem with this phone that i have other wise i lone it

has anyone found a way yet to mke the rear speaker louder when on speaker phone?

ring + vibrate + high pitch tone
thatll help you out the best. I got that power rangers Beep communicator thing because that worked the best even when I was driving the forklift I could hear it.
Honestly you dont wanna go to loud, you may blow your speaker >< then that would really suck

Use the 'Noisy One' ringer to make sure you always hear it - that's the only ringer I can hear every time.
As for speakerphone, you've touched on my only complaint with the G2 - the speakerphone isn't very good and requires holding it to your ear (which defeats the point, eh?)

You can try Old Phone Ringtones (from the Market). Some of those ringtones are really loud.

Hey guys I realize you are trying to be helpful but telling someone to "put it on vibrate" and "download louder ringtones" is not very helpful (The Vibrate sux on the G2 I usually hear it vibrating instead of feeling it ). I too am looking for a way to boost the speaker sound like I did with my G1 using "Louder Volume Hack". I have Loud ringers but that does not help with custom ringtones or with the reason I went with Android, To make it function the way I want it to, I am sure most of you also feel this way.
Also of Note: I can get the Speaker to the desired Volume using an Poweramp equalizer to boost the volume of music, considering all the apps out there I am surprised that no-one has created a hack to do this on the newer phones.

Sound level during calls

I dont know what I am doing wrong but I find the sound level extremely poor for calls
I tried with a bluetooth headset, the outside speaker and the jack with my mp3 headset
it's pretty weird since when I play videos or music I am impressed by how loud I can push the Tab...
I am on AT&T with JMC (but was the same on JM6). And I set the sound at max
anybody has the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any sound booster app for calls? (and is it necessary?)
Thanks for your help

My Tab isn't phone-enabled, but since you're new to Android, I thought I should point out that there are multiple volume settings, and in-call volume is one of them. Menu Key -> Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume should give you all the sliders (Ringtone, Media, Alarm, System, Notification...). There are apps/widgets too that let you get to/change these settings without having to go into the settings menu every time (audio manager has been a decent widget for me). Until you're actually in the call the hardware rocker is usually doing the ringtone or media volume.
When I use mine with Skype 60% is usually blaringly loud for me, and I don't even have the system or media volume maxed out.
Sorry if it's something you know you've done, but thought it might help. If not, maybe someone else has had the same issue and solved it.

yes this I had figured out and set at the maximum
Everything non call related is really strong... It's conversation from normal calls that is ridiculously low

Am I the only one ?? What's wrong with my tab ?

Anyone with an opinion about this ?

Voice-enabled on AT&T with JM6. Have good results with the built-in speakers and cheap Nokia BH-214 stereo Bluetooth earbuds. I ordered the OEM earbuds, but I do understand that the 3.5mm jack port in finicky. Is your Bluetooth 2.1 or newer? Do you have many open applications when trying to place or receive calls? I've notice the sound stutter a bit on the speakers when I've got several apps open.

Here's something I noticed, when in call using my BT Headset, the volume slider sometimes says its on max but the output isnt. Try to lower or increase your volume. Once you hear the max level beep, it gets louder.
Im on a SingTel Tab by the way.

Thank you, will try right away
Edit: yeah I can definitely reduce the volume but my max was my actual max. As anybody tried to compare the volume on the speaker when playing music whith the volume on the speaker when on a call... It's like 5 to 10 times higher volume on a call !! And then same issue on a headset

As mentioned I tried it with everything I could... The default external speaker, a simple stereo headset (Not bluetooth), a bluetooth headset. They all give the same. Low volume

If you don't like volume in speaker, headset, bluetooth....You can change settings in "hidden" Audio menu. There you can change volume of individual ouput, but be careful!!!!!
Before change anything, make sure you can put it back the same number if you are not satisfied or have problem ..so wright it somewhere anything you wish to change.
Good Luck with experiment. If I remember correctly(from my old Samsung i780-Windows phone) "TX" settings is for output and "RX" for imput, but I can be wrong, so be careful.

what I do is, when in a call, I lower the volume by about 2, then increase it until i hear the max volume beep. The moment i hear it, the volume on my headset usually jumps up.

I have the same problem with the speaker volume. At maximum you cannot hear it. The bluetooth seems to work OK. IIRC JK5 software seemed to work correctly.

So I guess for you too, music or movies play with a high volume on the speakers whereas for calls it's rather low volume ?
Yes bluetooth or headset I can hear but still quite low volume compared with music...

My problem is specifically for calls. Anything else is fine and working well. That's the weird issue... I dont want to boost the volume for anything else!

That's pretty weird... I have been playing with the tab and I found out that for calls, the highest level I can have (by hear) is two notches below the highest. That's by far the loudest I get (If I push higher the sound decreases)
Am I the only one ? It really pisses me off.... I don't know how it can be like that (I am on JMC ROM after flashing a JM6 ROM over the JK5 from Russia (I am on an AT&T Tab flashed to get phone working)
Someone else get the same experience ?

I can confirm that the max 'in call' volume is two notch below the max !!! And I have the same tab/setting of the OP.

Aren't there some codes you can enter to adjust the volume level on calls and music, etc.?? like the Galaxy S?

Thanks ! Ina sense I am a littel bit relieved to see I am not the only one !
Such a stupid bug. Come on Samsung...

FYI it is fixed with the firmware JME
Sound level is much more acceptable and the highest level is not anymore two notched below the max
